The Supreme Court of Massachu-
sets has awarded damages to a
tenant for sickness contracted
through the bad sanitary condition
Of the building he had rented. =
This decision, if generally recogniz-
ed, would do a great deal toward
improving the health of the people
in all cities and closely populated
towns, in which the sole aim of the
average landlord seems to be to get
the biggest possible return upon his
investment without much regard to
the comfort or health Of his tenants.

graduate itself because it .is not
the only city in the United States

their nostrils between the thumb
and foretinger of one hand while
they raise glass of water from the
pumps to their lips with the other. +"

this city, published in our local

together for the many deaths from

the other day why the colored peo-
pie of the South increased so much
more rapidly than the white, an.
swered: eve draw from three

draw from one. Every colored wo-
man whose husband is white, the

is colored, which condition exists in

on our side; every offspring of pure

on our side; while the white people
only draw from one source, them
selves.

A man who believes he doesn't
get MS moneys worth and is doing
an act of charity in subscribing for
any newspaper, observes an intelli-
gent contemporary, hash t any mind
to think, and his soul is so small
that they won t take the trouble to
look for 1T at the day of judgment.
Ninety-nine times in an hundred
the man who "can't afford" his
mind and his family six cents worth
Of mental and moral stimulus a
week, can afford to fill his skin full
of rot-gut whiskey fifty-two times a
year, and can afford to use tobacco
until his breath would knock the
core out of an ink roller at twenty
PAGES. And generally he is the man
who talks of newspapers being de.
pendent on the public for support.
DEMoREsT's MONTHLY 80 Allan
Quartermain; OF, A browning City,"
the new story by the author of
"She, increases in interest in
''Demorest's Monthly" for April,
and promises to rival its predecessor
in wonderful adventure. The other
contents of the April number of
"Demorest's' are equally interest
ing. Enterprise is shown on every
page of this family magazine. Not
only are the best authors secured,
but selections are made so as to
make up a magazine giving informa-
ton upon every point relative to
the household. A lady possessing
its valuable aid does not even have
to buy her dress patterns for herself
aud children, as they are furnished
free; and in any size required. The
small subscription price (s2) saves
hundreds of dollars in waste and
worry, and furnishes reading mat
ter that interests the whole family.

POLITICAL office brokers have
come to the conclusion that Presi-

pretty fully commit himself to the

he always puts in a qualification at

thing like this: "Mind you, | may

Chasing the SwOrdllsh.

1.-The pursuit of the swOrdfish," Pro-
fessor GOode says, lis much more ex-
citing than ordinary fishing, for it resem-
bles the hunting Of large animals upon
the land and partakes more of the nature
of the chase There is no slow or careful
batting and patient waiting, and no dis
appointment; caused by the accidental
capture of worthless bait stealers. The
game Is seen and followed, and outwitted
by wary tactics and killed by strength Of
arm and skill The swordfish is power
full antagonist. sometimes, and sends his
pursuers' vessel into harbor leaking. and
almost sinking. from injuries he has in
fiicted. ! have known vessel to be
struck by wounded swordtish as many as
twenty times in a season.
There is even the spice OF personal
danger to give SAVIOR to the chase, for the
men are occasionally injured by the in
furated fish. One of Capt. Ashby's
crew was severely wounded by sword
